what's wrong with that? Obesity and heart disease kill WAAAY more people than illicit drugs. If you want to outlaw drugs, it seems totally arbitrary to want to keep donuts and deep-fried snickers bars legal.
? You can't make something illegal because one idiot uses it against the direct intent of the product. If you were than make glue illegal. People ARE using Meth the way intended. Your comparing apples to oranges and that never works.
[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"]That is way flawed, you can't compare a less dangerous thing to a more dangerous thing and use that as logic for making both legal, doesn't work that way.danwallacefan
I coulden't care less if its dangerous. People own their own bodies and should be allowed to do with them whatever the hell they please.
Not when it harms society and raises health care costs to the average consumer.
And as long as those things harm society and run up health care costs no you can't, also you know nothing about Meth, making it legal makes it easier for them to get it not harder and keeps people on it from getting off. Black Market? HA! I have met Meth addicts, none of them commit crimes and I doubt you know how many do.MoonMarvel
Moonmarvel, drug prohibition harms society more than drug addiction could probably ever harm society. Drug kingpins are seen as the highest persons on the social order in inner-city culture. in some cities, half of all property crimes (theft, robbery, burglary) are committed by drug users. There would be almost none of this if all drugs were legalized. I forgot to mention that Drug prohibition greatly helps drug cartels. Small guys can't get into the cocaine business without purchasing cocaine which ultimately comes from Drug Cartels in Colombia and Mexico. If Drugs were legalized, they could be sold by legal corporations and could have enourmous taxes on them, which would ultimately bring in huge government revenues.Danwallacefan...See saying a name doesn't work. Keeping drugs illegal doesn't harm anyone, its the drugs themselves that cause the problem. All making it legal will do is allow these metheads to get their hit legally without fear, legallity has no bearing on addiction it never has. I also doubt you know much about inner city culture as I have been in there and disagree with you on whole. Also underline drug users, remember those crimes are crimes in their own right, making the drug legal won't stop them from committing another crime so that logic fails. You seem to think if we make drugs legal all those cimes will magically vanish into thin air....Fail there as again legal status has no bearing on additiction and those would be addicts and in jail anyway for other crimes. I don't care about money, I care about peoples health and lowering health care costs. Nobody should get into the business of harming other people, and putting sellers and users in rehabilitation and the suppliers in jail will help as will anti-poverty programs.
Is this over now?
